On the day of Christmas, we look at a tamil song that celebrates the arrival of the lord to this world. The song மண்ணுலகில் இன்று தேவன் இறங்கி வருகிறார் (MannuLagil Indru Devan iRangi varugirAr) from the movie Punidha Anthoniyar is composed by M.S. Viswanathan and sung by Vani Jairam and Muthuraman

here is the lyrics, if you want to sing along....

ViNNil thOndrum thaaragaiyellaam Devadhaiyaagum 
VeNNilavO Devan amarum vaaganamaagum
GnyaanajOthiyae, Uyarvaana jothiyae 
Thaanagavae ulagail irangum Dharmajothiyae! 

MaNNulagil indru Devan irangi varugiraan 
Nalla manidhar naduvil kuzhandhai vadivam perugiraan 
Ennilaadha adhisayangal seidhu kaattavae 
Oru puNNiyanin madiyinilae pudhalvan aagiraan 

MaNNulagil indru Devan irangi varugiraan 
Nalla manidhar naduvil kuzhandhai vadivam perugiraan 
Ennilaadha adhisayangal seidhu kaattavae 
Oru puNNiyanin madiyinilae pudhalvan aagiraan 

Mazhalai mozhigal kaetkka kaetkka manadhu thuLLaadhO 
Madiyil vandhu amarum pOdhu mayakkam koLLaadhO 
Paarvai pattaal pOdhum nam paavam yaavum pOgum 
KaigaL thottaal pOdhum udan kavalai ellaam theerum 

MaNNulagil indru Devan irangi varugiraan 
Nalla manidhar naduvil kuzhandhai vadivam perugiraan 
Ennilaadha adhisayangal seidhu kaattavae 
Oru puNNiyanin madiyinilae pudhalvan aagiraan 

Adiyavarin madiyinilae Aandavaraam Pillai 
AravaNaikkum adiyavarO Iraivanukkum Annai 
Kodumai paavam thuyaRilirundhu meetppavar vandhaar 
Kulam thazhaikka kuzhandhaiyaaga meippavar vandhaar 

MaNNulagil indru Devan irangi varugiraan 
Nalla manidhar naduvil kuzhandhai vadivam perugiraan 
Ennilaadha adhisayangal seidhu kaattavae 
Oru puNNiyanin madiyinilae pudhalvan aagiraan 
maNNulagil indru Devan vandhu iranginaar 
Nalla manidhar naduvil kuzhandhai vadivam perugiraar 

Note0: This song celebrates the arrival of lord to earth in the form of a child and praises the lord as an embodiment of knowledge and peace. 

Note1: What makes this song special is the voice of Vani Jayaram. 

Note2: Trichy AIR used to play this as a part of the religious songs at 7 AM. So this song also kindles quite some nostalgia for me....
